Description

MIYABI continues to strive for perfection with the introduction of MIYABI Kaizen – Japanese for ‘improvement’ or ‘change for the better’ This next generation of MIYABI knives, made in Seki Japan, combines the greatest hardening technology with the artistry of traditional craftsmanship.

The CRYODUR blade undergoes a four-step hardening process that maximizes the properties of the steel.- Hardening done in a state-of-the-art vacuum furnace- Cryogenic treatment at -321degrees F to enhance the corrosion resistance- Double tempering to improve toughness

The Katana edge is hand-finished with the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method. The angle of each blade is honed by an artisan to 9.5 – 12 degrees per side. The acute angle in concert with the Honbazuke method yields scalpel-like sharpness.

The exceptional blade is complemented by an equally stunning and durable handle made of black linen Micarta featuring a mosaic pin, red spacers and a metal end cap.
